Cowl separated his lips from letting the ground stable. His head had stopped spinning but he made the mistake of keeping his eyes open during the kiss and was still feeling a bit dizzy. He looked at Cowl giving her a warm smile. He could see the small hint of blood lust in her eyes. He knew she had to be attracted to his blood. But he didn’t know how attractive she was. Cowl had heard that some vampire’s are so attracted a certain someone’s blood that even one taste of it could make them so overcome and take them over until the being was either blood free, or a vampire. Cowl remembered this from the instance when he first meet Julius so long ago. But Cowl had never told Eithne about that. And he wasn’t so sure she would be happy with him if he found out. When she asked him just what he learned from Issac and what he told her he was hesitant. Issac had showed him how to defend himself and not only that how to defend for Eithne. He had showed him what it meant to be in love once and what love could do to someone. Cowl looked at Eithne his eyes loving. “It wasn’t much really. Just how to survive more then anything.” He hoped Eithne would be suited with this answer. If he went into to much detail he was sure Issac would come back. Just like he warned.

Eithne nodded, she could tell he didn't want to talk about it, "Cowl... I just want you to know that I don't care how powerful you get." She said, her expression softened slightly. "I just wish that you wouldn't change too much, okay?" she smiled, leaning forward and she kissed Cowl on the cheek, odd how she made emotion and thoughts flow through her actions but it was a calming love and a whisper to Cowl's soul, 'I'm always here for you...' Eithne ran one hand through Cowl's hair and along the side of his face, savoring the moment. Cowl was back and here for now... she had time to figure this all out, right? She had three years for that... three short years. A tear came to her eye but she smiled slightly as it formed. She blinked it away and she just let herself hug Cowl, letting the emotions she was holding back come flooding to her, and to be honest... it felt wonderful.

Cowl didn't know what to do. She hugged him again and Cowl had a sense that told him that Eithne was in pain. And with that feeling came the feeling of helplessness. That was part of the reason he had left. To learn to help people. But no matter what he did. He felt so hopless when it came to Eithne. He wanted to soothe her pain. Yet he couldn't. Then again he had no idea what that pain even was. Cowl just took her arroma in his nostrils breathing normally. He was calm unlike before when his heart had raced with the kiss. He was nothing but calm. "I love you." He whispered in her ear.

"In case I don't get the chance to tell you in three years... I'm sorry, I'm terribly sorry for hurting you." she didn't care if Cowl would understand the words now, she just knew he'd understand them later. Her bright gray eyes were closed, she continued to hold herself to Cowl, she didn't want him to leave, she was almost afraid that if she left him for any period of time, she'd find him and he'd be gone. He'd be changed. She felt that if that happened, she might let herself die from the heartbreak. There was so much worry for Cowl clouding her thoughts at that time... she forgot to tell Cowl she loved him as well. Hopefully he'd understand.

Cowl did not understand her. What did she mean, sorry for hurting him? And what did she mean three years? What was going to happen in three years? Cowl didn’t understand. She was going to hurt him. And she already knew that it was going to happen. So why was she apologizing to him. It hurt Cowl just to think about it. He really didn’t know what to say. So he said nothing. He understood the silence and the fail of her reply. He was sure she loved him. After all Eithne was not one for words. So Cowl just stood there. After a short time, his arms still wrapped around her he lifted his head up looking at the sky. “I think we should get inside…” He said. It was getting dark. And they had been here for a while. Cowl wanted to know about what had happened in his absence. What had changed Eithne? That was the question he wanted to ask the most. He just couldn’t bring himself to say it aloud.

Eithne turned her head to look towards the sky, the darkness didn't bother her so much, but it was understandable if Cowl didn't want to be outside at night, she guessed. "Okay..." she muttered to Cowl telepathically, she kissed Cowl on the cheek, one of her hands wrapping around Cowl's and she stood up, her eyes looking towards Twilight Moon Academy, "Cowl... I'm very happy that you're back." She said, her using a word like 'happy' to describe her emotions was a big deal, considering she usually hid things like that, like now, already she was starting to bottle herself up again, hiding her emotions from others.

Cowl was taken a back a bit by what she said. For Eithne to express her emotions to him felt unnatural. He was so used to her having it all bottled up inside. For her to express it showed to Cowl that indeed things had changed around here. Cowl still though couldn't figure exactly what. He had his hand entwined with hers as he began to walk towards the academy. A mineute or so after she had told him she was happy he was back Cowl responded. "I'm happy your still here." That was the truth and it showed just what kind of feelings Cowl was having at the moment. He wanted to make sure he did everything to keep the balance. He wanted to make sure everything stayed as it was before. But as he wished he knew it could not be so. Things had changed after he had left. He doubted that they would return to normal.

Eithne silently looked towards Cowl, a simple smile on her face, though it was a simple expression, a happy one, it was so cryptic, making it impossible to know just what she was thinking, and it made you want to know her thoughts. She seemed content with just looking towards Cowl. A sudden reaction of acute suprise flashed over her face as a raindrop hit her nose and she turned to look towards the sky and as she did, the single drop turned to a downpour, the kind of rain that would soak you to the bone in seconds, though not unpleasantly so, it wasn't cold outside, making the rain pleasant. Eithne's hand tightened around Cowl's for a brief moment, a smile on her face now as she looked towards the sky, her hair quickly straightened as it was drenched in rainwater and the rain shedding off of her jacket to keep her body dry. She closed her eyes as she let the rain fall on her, as if she had forgotten that Cowl was there and she was there in her moment. Her breathing was relaxed and all about herself she was calm, somehow letting the calmness of herself travel into Cowl, her powers gentle coaxing themselves out and it seemed as if small fireflies were in the rain, quietly floating about and casting thier light on Eithne and Cowl, illuminating thier expressions and making it as if it were some fairytale. Eithne didn't even know she was doing it, she kept her eyes closed as the rain continued to fall on her, she seemed blissful, "Cowl... do you like the rain?" she asked, her voice serene and breathy. Already she was soaking wet, water managing it's way under her enchanted coat to get her wet, almost as if in spite, but Eithne didn't mind. She loved the rain. She loved the rain so very much.
(Eithne's always loved the rain, what can I say? It makes her a totally different person. The best I could explain it with is that... it makes her feel human, and the sound of the rain never changes, no matter where you go, it's always the same. She finds it calming. The same sound that sang her ancestors to sleep is the sound she hears when it rains, rain brings life, it's always been something good for her.)

Cowl watched wonder with his eyes as magic seemed to travel around them in the rain. Cowl had never felt something like this before. How could he express his opinion. The word amazing just wasn't enough. The experience was on a whole different plane then that word. And at first Cowl had no idea just why it was happening. It didn't occur to him that this was Eithne's doing. But as he looked at her smile he knew it was. This was her doing. Yet it seemed that she didn't even know this was her doing. A long time ago Cowl loved the rain for the reason that it washed away all the bad. And that was what it meant to him at that time. But know it stood for something else. It stood for the new life it would bring to plants and animal. It stood for the new birth of their relationship. So when she asked him if he liked the rain he said, "Yes... I do like the rain."

Eithne opened her eyes and looked towards Cowl, "I guess we should be heading inside..." she said, oddly enough, when she opened her eyes the lights she had accidentally created melted away into the rain, her silver eyes looked towards the building, "You must be hungry, how about we catch something to eat at the Ninth Heaven." she suggested, obviously she wouldn't be getting anything to eat at the Ninth Heaven, but she didn't mind, she had enough blood in her system for now.
